Telephone number +256702368176 is being used as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam by someone claiming to be "Kenneth Edward", from DHL Express Shipping Company and using the email address edwardkenneth1070@gmail.com. The telephone number is included in the following Advance Fee Fraud email that is being sent to victims:
My Dear Friend.

This is to bring to your notice that I have paid the re-activation fee and the delivery of your ATM Card. I paid it because the ATM-7221 US$4.2MILLION dollar, has less three weeks to expire and when it expires, the money will divert and forfeited into Government purse (account).With that I decided to help you pay the money so that, the ATM will not expire, because I know when you get your ATM definitely you must pay me back my money and even help me out.

Now I want you to contact the DHL Express company with your Full Contact information so that they can deliver your Card to your designated address without any delay. Like I stated earlier, the delivery charges have been paid but i did not pay their official keeping fees since they refused. They refused and the reason is that they do not know when you are going to contact them and the demurrages might have been increased. They told me that their keeping fees are $105 per day and I deposited it yesterday. Below is their contact information,

Company Name: DHL Express Shipping Company
Email: ( edwardkenneth1070@gmail.com)
Contact Person: Mr KENNETH EDWARD
TELEPHONE NUMBER +256702368176

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid adding the security keeping fee of $105 dollar per day, please do contact them today to avoid an increase of their keeping fees and let me know once you receive your Card. Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your mailing address and direct telephone number to them to avoid wrong delivery or any mistake. Also send them their security keeping fee of US$105 today to avoid an increase of their keeping fees.

I registered it as a wedding gift and they didn't know it contained a valuable ATM Master Card. This is to avoid them delaying the package. Don’t let them know that it contents valuable material.

SHIPMENT CODE: FDB 33XZS
PACKAGE REGISTERED CODE NO: XGT0283.
SECURITY CODE: SCTC//562326.

Regards,

Mr. IBRAHIM AYUBA
The email was sent from the email address ""Mr. IBRAHIM AYUBA" <anthonywode@gmail.com>", with the Reply-to address "edwardkenneth1070@gmail.com" and the subject "My Dear Friend.".

The email is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam with promises of a large sum of money being transferred to the victim. Anyone responding to it will be told that there is a fee/tax/insurance payment to be paid to receive the money. This will be followed by payment after payment until the victim runs out of money or realises that they are being scammed.
